I guess I understand the cynicism but her net worth appears to be not much. Usually you'd want to use your money to avoid getting convicted but here we are.

It's non-violent. Nobody died. I think 5-10 years. Maybe she can be Shkreli's pen pal.

Wrong. Someone committed suicide because of her and her legal team's harassment and blackmailing.

She was peddling non functional healthcare devices and services. People could have died, and she clearly didn't care.

Wasn't it mostly vapor ware medical testing services? Afaik they mainly wasted investor time and money and took customer money for test services they just never ended up providing. Unless I'm missing something??

I think their customers just ended up stuck with the bill and had to go to a regular lab.
